We could not have asked for a better host or place to stay during our one week stay in Bangkok. Tom is the quintessential host, ensuring every detail of our stay is pleasant and always going the extra mile to make sure his guests are comfortable. His communication is spot on and he really goes out of his way to help his guests experience Bangkok and Thailand to the fullest. Tom treated us like family, providing airport transportation, taking us to his sister's fish farm, to the river market with his mother-in-law, and cooking with his wife, which turned out to be the best meal we ate in Thailand. He is extremely knowledgeable about his country and is more than happy to share his experiences and make insider recommendations to all his guests.
The place itself is huge and well-equipped with all the essentials (and non-essentials) you may need. The kitchen comes equipped with everything to prepare meals, including all pots/pans, utensils, cooking oil, condiments, and stove/microwave to heat up your food. Tom kindly took us shopping our first day in Bangkok to stock our fridge and there is a 7-eleven within walking distance that we often visited to pick-up miscellaneous items. Our kids enjoyed playing in the yard, complete with fish pond, soccer ball, and badminton. The washer and clothesline was greatly appreciated and the a/c kept us cool throughout the night. Also, the Internet and TV with every channel imaginable kept us updated on all things back home. In summary, we highly recommend Tom's place and know that anyone who does will be in great hands. Can't wait to return in the future...
